‘It doesn’t require you to be qualified and you don’t need to be an expert’

This is our fifth episode of Season 1 ‘For the 1’ podcast!

In this episode Mel talks with Penny from the charity ‘I Got Shoes’. Penny outlines the journey her husband Gary and herself have been on since starting I Got Shoes during the COVID pandemic. Amazing stories of their work in Uganda and how providing shoes for 1 child is a stepping stone into education, breaking the cycle of poverty and improving the health of a generation.
